The Knicks aren't ready to change their starting
lineup, but in an effort to match the Pacers' size in tonight's Game 2, Kenyon
Martin will likely see some time at power forward in between Carmelo Anthony
and Tyson Chandler.

"We put some things in," Knicks coach Mike
Woodson said of the offense prior to the game. "When that unit is in, they'll
have some go-to things that they can run and hopefully can feel comfortable
running and then hopefully score off it. So that's the main thing. It doesn't
matter what you put in there, you still got to put the ball in the hole."

The Knicks didn't do that in Sunday's Game 1
loss.

The Knicks attempted only 19 3-pointers (which is
low for this team) and made only 15 of 37 shots in the paint, which is how the
Pacers limited them to just 43.2 percent shooting from the field. The Pacers also won the battle on the boards, 44-30, which underscored the Knicks' need for size and toughness.

"I thought we came out ready to play," Woodson
said. "We just didn't sustain it over a 48-minute ballgame."

The Knicks do have options, though.

In addition to using a bigger lineup, Woodson is
happy with what he's been getting out of point guard Raymond Felton and with
the team's three-pick-and-roll set.

"If everybody runs it right and separates
correctly then somebody's gonna be open," Woodson said of the play. "When you
come over the last screen, if the ball is not stopped, that guy has an
opportunity to play and be a playmaker and either score or pass it.

"We're not the only team that runs it. There's a
number of teams in our league that run it, but it has been a successful play
for us throughout the season"

The Knicks' advantage with Felton is that the
Pacers are adept at limiting scoring opportunities on the perimeter and in the
paint, but the veteran point guard has a mid-range game. Felton had 18 points
in Game 1, most of which came in between the arc and the lane.

"He's gonna have those looks, but again, we've
got to put in some multiple things where it's not just two guys playing,"
Woodson said. "And I'm trying to come up with some things, I put in some things
today, we'll see how it works tonight. We'll see what happens."

In other Knicks news:

• Amar'e Stoudemire (knee) is still on track for a
Game 3 return on Saturday in Indianapolis.

"He didn't have any setbacks today after going
3-on-3 yesterday," Woodson said. "It's been a rest day for him and kind of
(inaudible) and then tomorrow he'll go back at it again and then we'll weight
it out again on Thursday and see where he is. And then Friday we'll try and get
him in a 5-on-5 setting."
